Game of Thrones begins....

Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's still having the best three-four years of her life...and then some.

I'm pretty sure this statement is gibberish.  The "best... and then some"?

In English, you cannot qualify "best" with a phrase that means "with considerably more in addition."  Best is an absolute term.  You can't get "considerably more" than "best."

He's saying that going to class and earning a degree isn't what makes college the best years of many people's lives.

He cannot have my point.

[Ed Anger]

Unless he takes the point from your cold, dead hands.

Game of Thrones is now the most popular HBO show ever, even more so than the Sopranos.

What's the budget compared to The Sopranos?  8 times? 

[Valmy]

Why would she? For most people college is a means to an end, and she has already secured that end and much more.

It is rather sad that there apparently are people who really do believe that college is just a means to an end.    You probably missed out on what should have been the best three or four years of your whole life.

As somebody suffering through finals right now I can honestly say I have had much better times in my life than this 

[Josquius]

People who think university was the best time of their life probably grew up with too much money.  Or into a decent country like Sweden.

But they're able to sell this to many more overseas market at higher prices than the Sopranos.

People who think that only people who grew up with too much money could enjoy university probably know no more about university than they do about fornication.

I grew up quite poor, was the first in my family to graduate from college, and received not a penny for any college expenses from my parents or family.  And it was the best four years of my life.  My college friends all feel the same way.  Other friends who attended college feel the same way.  You are in a new environment, away from home, with low expectations, and surrounded by talented like-minded people of your own age.  You'll never get that (less the "talented") again unless you join the Chair Force.

Now, the happiest single year for most will be the first year of marriage.  The passage of time will take care of that memory, though!

I thought you were getting your degree as a means to an end.

Why do you think that?
